The Confederation of African Football has announced that after discussions with the Government of Cameroon and the Local Organizing Committee (LOC), decided to move the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations Cameroon 2021 third and fourth place originally scheduled for Sunday 06 February 2022 to Saturday, 05 February 2022.

The match, to be played at Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium, will kick-off at 20h00.

Playing the two matches on Sunday would have caused problems for security forces in the Cameroonian capital and CAF officials would not have been able to distribute medals to the third-place team and make it to the final, a distance of about 12 kilometres, on time.
